ASL Online?!
This week, I was not feeling much motivation to do my ASL. Not that I don’t love learning it, but I have been so busy so sitting down to watch videos/look at pictures was no in the cards this week. I was stumped for a moment. What am I supposed to do this week? Then,…
Fake News in the School, Community & World
Fake news. It is everywhere. You want to search Facebook for recent news, but fake news will often occur. You see someone add you on Facebook or Instagram with a profile picture of one of your friends, but it isn’t your friend’s account. Fake news and fake accounts are everywhere. So, the question is this:…
Time to Attend School?
If you read my blog post last week, you will remember that I downloaded a few apps to my phone to learn ASL. I just find it so crazy that I am able to download apps and practice my ASL at any time. But, I am grateful to be able to do this and have…
Watch What You Post Online!
I think most of my readers can agree that we have probably searched up someone’s name on Facebook/Instagram if they sound or look familiar. But, I have never gone into a full search of someone before. Needless to say, it was an interesting experience. Really though, what we post online, we should be cautious of.…

Smartphone Apps Can be Handy!
This week, I felt ready to learn more ASL. So, the question is this, where do I even begin? Well, I decided that downloading a few different apps to my phone would be a great step. Apps to downloaded are great. I can practice anytime, anywhere, at whatever speed I wish to go at. Instead…
Is Educational Technology Possible in the Classroom?
How does a teacher incorporate technology into the classroom? This question has had me stumped for years now. Without a doubt, technology is becoming increasingly common in a young child’s life. I can even recall numerous times in a grade one classroom in March 2020 where students constantly talked about playing video games when they…
The iMovie Learning Curve
What is a good digital tool to use when documenting learning ASL? This was quite tricky for me to figure out. Since there is not much talking with ASL, this puts a strain on my choices. As well, I am not necessarily creating anything, so documenting the process is different. After a long time spent…
It’s Time to Learn the Alphabet!
Never thought I would be saying that I need to learn the alphabet, since I am 20 years old, but here I am. However, this isn’t any usual alphabet learned in school. It’s the ASL alphabet! The image attached is one that I have used a guide for my learning. I tend to use this…
My First #SaskEdChat
WOW. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I absolutely love Twitter. Ever since I decided teaching was the profession for me, I thought about the ways to network with other teachers but never actually went through with it. After using Twitter for about a week now, I can honestly say that I love the…
